Quote of the Day

Who? Where’s he from? A Republican?

If you want to see sacrifice, John McCain ought to visit our young men and women at Walter Reed and Bethesda. There’s the sacrifice in this country. We’re trying to make sure that they have the ability to fight this war, that they have the wherewithal to be able to do it. And at the same time, we have to react to keep this country strong not only militarily but economically. We want to be able to have the flexibility to do it. That’s my reply to John McCain.

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, questioning McCain’s Republican bonafides. Pretty ballsy considering McCain spent over five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
